Fairclough Hall Farmhouse

Fairclough Hall Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the 17th century or earlier, with brick casing and alterations made in the 18th and 19th centuries. The building features a timber frame that is roughcast, with a chequered red and blue brick ground floor at the rear. It has steep old red tile roofs, and the southern wing is half-hipped at the eastern end.

This L-shaped house is two stories tall and is located to the west of the farmyard, facing west, with the southern wing being slightly taller. The internal layout includes a chimney, a three-cell design, and a lobby-entry plan, with a large external chimney on the northern gable featuring two diagonally set square shafts and crow-step decoration for the parlour and chamber above, located to the left of the lobby entry. A rear entrance at the angle of the wings may indicate the position of an earlier cross-entry to the lower end of the hall.

On the southern side of the crosswing, there are two large projecting chimneys, along with another internal chimney at the junction of the wings. The west front has four windows on the ground floor and two on the first floor, with an entrance located a third from the northern end opposite the chimney. The windows on the ground floor are four-light flush casement windows, flanking a gabled open timber porch that leads to a half-glazed six-panel door. The first floor features three-light windows. On the southern side, there are three casement windows on the first floor and two on the ground floor, along with a small porch at the entrance near the left-hand corner.

Inside, there is a panelled room on the first floor to the west. The Royal Commission on Historical Monuments noted in around 1909 that large open fireplaces in the internal stack had been infilled, and there are cambered tie-beams on the first floor. Additionally, there are two doors made of early 17th-century oak panelling with contemporary hinges. The farmhouse was previously known as Hall Green Farm and was formerly called Faircloth Hall, named after the Fairclough family who owned it from 1461 until 1634.
